State and local governments typically require new housing to include parking – often much more than residents want, needlessly driving up the price of housing.

Aliens looking down on Earth could be forgiven for assuming cars are the dominant species.

Any alien capable of interstellar travel would be able to distinguish a vehicle from a living being...

Here people complain that houses are not required to have enough parking. After they buy it... You fucking bought the house! Didn't you even look at it before buying the most expensive thing you will ever buy in your life???
But you can't even trust people to park on the same side of the road on a road too narrow for parking on both sides at once. Our street you have to keep weaving left and right around parked cars.

Ah yes, like Victoria Street in Venice California. It's madness.

Im torn on this. We have plenty of buildings with no parking here and people seem to live there and park on the street. I think I would prefer to get rid of street parking than with residencies. Thing is though is you have where the parking is allowed to be seperate from the units so you get people owning and renting the parkin seperately and people with units still parking in the street. They should require the spot to be part of the unit and you should be allowed to keep a shed in the spot and store stuff in it.
